Description
This is a beautiful, sharp example of Ortelius 1579 map of the Viceroyalty of Culiacan in Northwestern Mexico, and Ortelius map of Cuba and the Caribbean. While Ortelius is generally most esteemed as an editor and compiler of maps, he was an accomplished mapmaker in his own right, and this map is among those of his
Theatrum of his own composition, synthesizing data drawn from Mercator s 1569 world map, Gutierrez s 1562 America map and Alonso de Santa Cruz s 1560
Isolario (sources now unobtainable by the collector). These maps, both of essential areas of recent exploration in the New World, exemplify Ortelius trail-blazing cartographic work.
